RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017

The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.

If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.

To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

Massive facepalm of the year

I was using the computer a few weeks ago and my mother have told me she has come to the conclusion that I deeply liked school by using the logic of contradicting others is contradicting yourself. I'm personally am the kind who contradicts society's behavior and beliefs. She told me that I love contradicting the actions of others and being in a different state than other people which means that I'm the contradicting kind. She told me that I hate going through school means that I like going through school through the law of contradiction. She also told me that the final evidence that I like school is that I didn't pass in order to achieve summer school. Can I honestly believe I belong in this family? My brother and my father supported the position as well.

Agreed with you two. As for Absent's question, I have the inability to laugh myself.

This. I got a D in my math class last report card, and now " I am no longer allowed to get D's. "

I think I lost a sliver of brain matter from reading that scalding logic... Slap your mother, please.

Your mom is trying to be a psychologist or something. And she is really sucking at it.

Had to move on. Account is dead.

Actually, they scream and even physically harmed me back in the day when they couldn't control their anger.

She does clearly need a lesson, but she's one of those people who stays into their beliefs after being into a certain place like school or cult or whatever else is similar in some ways for so long and coming to different conclusion simply because society and the government gives more opportunity to those that pass school. There's just no way of reasoning with her and slapping is only going to escalate the problem.

Re: Massive facepalm of the year

lol... that's some seriously potent denial your mother has to resort to in order to avoid believing that you actually really do hate school. It's like she wants to avoid believing it so badly that she came up with THAT pathetic excuse of an argument just so that she wouldn't have to face the truth.

Epic denial.
